The dragon has just returned from New York, New York (so good they named it twice) with the biggest box of outside Christmas lights you've ever seen, however, what the daft cow didn't take into account is the voltage difference.

Therefore, what do I need to purchase to get the bloody things to work ? My initial thought was to buy an American plug adaptor as one does when one goes abroad, however, this doesn't account for the voltage. Does it ? Heeeeeeeeeelp

You need what's called an Auto or Step down transformer. The Yellow things they use on Building sites would be more than adequate,Go to TV repair shop and ask if they have something (not Comet or Currys, but matey with soldering iron). maplins could also sort you out or should I say Short you out

I have a tranny you can borrow for the season, I understand that Captain Mainwearing and Pikey (DM and Jono) are coming down this weekend I can give it to them and you could pick it up from Abersoch

Send her back for another set and connect them together. (The lights, that is.) Or, presuming the USA set is particularly desirable.... by a set in Woolworths, cut them in half and connect them in series with the USA set. This will leave you with a pile of spare bulbs for next year.
